Oh this is fun :)

Alois: Sneaking treats into the cart when Jette isn't looking (all of the treats are for Jette)
Jette: extremely detailed list with meal breakdown for the week
Kannan: lost in the pet supply section
Kit: purely vibes based shopping
Eld: nothing but ramen
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Silly hypothetical today! Your character is going grocery shopping! What are they getting and what kind of shopper are they?

Organized list-maker? Impulse buyer? Forgets half the ingredients and has to go back?

We found my old 3DS while cleaning out the flooded boxes from our basement and man, I forgot how much I loved animal crossing new leaf. I like new horizons when it first came out but I find the crafting to be so exhausting of a mechanic.

There are two sentient amphibious species in Val'hoon AND I LOVE THEM BOTH!!
Anura are frog people and urodea are are newt people. Anura most often take the form of poison dart frogs, but there are a few different rarer subspecies that look different. Anura speak purely through song 1/2
Day 17
Over to the critters which are the in-betweens, from the trees to the streams - amphibians! I just hope "eye of newt" isn't still in fashion for potions 😓 🐸

I think if there's ever fanart made for any of my books I'll know I've made it (at least to the level I want to make it to)
what is the biggest writerly goal you are willing to cop to publicly? I would like to be nominated for a Lammy

Spirits are part of the divine circle. Souls that get trapped in the Sea of Stars on their way to The Boneyard become spirits and are able to walk Val’hoon again. Major spirits are usually kith or creatures that were particularly powerful or had strong magic in life. 1/3
Day 16
Switching to something different, spirits! Many different interpretations with this across various folklore, so keeping it broad with whatever you might have cookin'!

Most sapient species can reproduce with each other as long as they’re of a similar taxonomic class (mammal, reptile, avian, etc.). Elf biology is weird so they could reproduce with whoever they want.
#WritingQ

For those of you with multiple intelligent species in your world, how do you handle interspecies reproduction (if such a thing even occurs)? What are the rules of the world regarding it?

The Drowned Heir is about family*

*fulfilling family/social obligations when you're the 3rd child and your uncle with no heir has just died so they need you to be your uncle now

#pretendpanel
I’ve been stuck in a bit of a slump lately. I know what I want to write but actually getting the words on the page is hard. I think it’s because I have so much of this story planned out when I’m usually a pantser. So I’m worried that what I write won’t live up to my expectations.
#pretendpanel, tell me...

January 16th: Where are you now with the writing process? How has that changed?
e.g. keeping it fun / currently learning processes / adherence to learned processes / breaking out of outgrown processes / something else?

There's a few times where I describe Liadan pressing her nails into her palms, hard enough to make herself bleed, when she is really struggling with identifying her emotions.

Minno picks their cuticles when they're anxious.

Aila pulls at her feathers when thinking.
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Are there any words, descriptors, or actions that you only use for one specific character?

Something that gives a particular flavor to moments that character is in?

Does it tell us something about them?

I think I’m quite good at writing natural sounding dialogue.

I’m also good at writing three dimensional characters and making sure even the minorest of side characters feel well rounded and real.

Oh, and I think I’m good at writing loving, platonic relationships
Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.

I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.

No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at

Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

Welp, that writing I was planning on doing definitely isn’t going to happen now

Caved to all of the hype and started watching Heated Rivalry and…I was kinda underwhelmed by it. I think Connor and Hudson have great chemistry and the romance has some really cute moments but it’s just kind of boring for me. I honestly wish we got more of the hockey rivalry.

Here's a little excerpt of a few of the MANY aquatic creatures The Knights of the Edelweiss have to deal with. Having a deep lake with an underwater tunnel that connects to a sea full of bloodthirsty monsters certainly keeps them busy.

Has anyone else had issues with KDP not accepting their bank details for payouts? I keep getting the error that my bank isn't eligible for KDP payouts but I'm not sure why that would be the case when it's a bank that accepts deposits.

Currently it’s Bonxie by Stormaway because I’ve basically already been doing that. But I could also do Sunset Tree or Beat the Champ by The Mountain Goats
If someone put $1,000,000 on the table and said you had to listen to one album on repeat for 48 hours straight…
what album are you risking your sanity for?

I’m like one order away from actually being able to get a payout from D2D 😭 I hate that they have a minimum requirement

Hi #PortfolioDay !

I'm an indie artist and writer who illustrates my own books and draws the book covers for them and occasionally for awesome friends as well! I also like to experiment with many different styles in my standalone art pieces.
